- "Human Rights in Russia: A Darker Side of Reform", Jonathan Weiler, Boulder, CO, Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2004. 165 pp.
On the basis of the observation that political change in Russia has coincided with worsening physical security for many citizens, Weiler asks why Western observers have generally spoken of human rights abuses there only in relation to atrocities committed by soldiers in Chechnya and very occasional persecution of environmentalists and scientists for allegedly sharing classified information. He looks specifically at the conditions of prisoners, both those in overcrowded pre-trial detention and those already in labor camps, at attitudes toward domestic violence, and at treatment of draftees and others at the mercy of faltering state institutions.

- Structural Changes in Receiving Country and Future Labor Migration - The Case of Kuwait
By Nasra M. Shah. Changes in migration schemes during the past two decades indicate that the median age of the national male labor force remains low, its concentration in the public sector has increased, and its participation in production and manual work has declined further. This article analyzes changes in the national labor force with regard to volume, age and sex composition, retention in the labor force, productivity, type of occupation, and sector of activity. International Migration Review 29:4(Winter, 1995): 1000-1022

- When news lies : media complicity and the Iraq War
By Danny Schechter; SelectBooks, c2006. xxxii, 254 p. When News Lies is an inside story of the media war behind the Iraq War, the American government's efforts to manipulate war coverage by playing on the media's own timidity and reluctance to do its job- report the news to the public. Veteran author, video journalist, and media critic Danny Schechter ("the News Dissector") takes us on a sometimes frightening, sometimes humorous journey behind the scenes of the media machine that sold us an invasion and rallied the public to support it.
